Analytics Consulting

What Analytics Consulting does

Analytics Consulting LLC, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, is a closely held professional services firm specializing in class action, mass tort, and collective action settlement administration. The company serves plaintiff and defense law firms, federal government agencies (FTC, SEC, DOJ, CFPB), Fortune 500 corporate defendants, and courts/special masters through a boutique model offering a single point of contact across each engagement. Core service modules span the full settlement lifecycle: pre-settlement consulting, QSF/escrow management, data analysis, legal notice design and implementation, expert testimony, contact center support, claims administration, and disbursements with tax reporting. The firm has administered over 4,000 cases, reached 250+ million class members across 54 countries, and distributed $6+ billion in settlement funds.

The firm's technology platform is anchored by the proprietary Global Claims Facility (GCF), a FISMA-compliant infrastructure processing over 1 billion unique transactions with peak capacity of 100,000+ claims per hour. All processing occurs onsite at a single location with secure private cloud hosting, annual SOC 2 audits, FISMA Authority to Operate, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and EU/Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield compliance. Analytics pioneered economic and regression analysis for class actions in 1976 and internet-based settlement administration in 1993, and maintains a current competitive edge through demonstrated engagement scale (e.g., TracFone: 2.2M mailed notices, 4M text messages; Merrill Lynch: 1,000+ data files consolidated for 2M class members).

Analytics generates revenue primarily through professional services fees from project-based class action engagements and multi-year managed services contracts with federal agencies. Pricing is custom and engagement-specific, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Government contracts operate on five-year performance periods with renewal options (FTC: fifth consecutive; SEC: second consecutive). The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting law firms and federal procurement channels, supported by industry events, content marketing, and a direct proposal request pathway. The firm has 101–250 employees across four U.S. offices (Chanhassen HQ, Minneapolis, New York, Washington DC) and is led by CEO Lisa Simmons and President Richard Simmons.
